Are My Household Drains Important?
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Durham North recognizes the stress and mess caused by a blocked household drain. Drains have one main function: transporting wastewater away from your property.

Even minor blockages can result in damage, unpleasant smells, and backups in sinks, tubs, and toilets. Since all drains are interconnected, an issue in one can lead to problems in others.
Indicators Telling You Your Drain Is Clogged
Identifying clogged drains can be trickier than you might expect. People often realize there's an issue when water no longer drains and sinks back up, but that’s just one sign of needing a professional drain cleaning. There are several other indicators of a blockage you should consider. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Durham North recommends reaching out to our drain cleaning professionals to evaluate and fix the issue if you observe any of the following signs:
- Unpleasant smells coming from your drains
- Toilets that frequently clog
- Toilets making bubbling noises
- Sinks draining slowly, accompanied by gurgling
- Damp patches on your lawn
- Water pooling on floors near laundry machines, bathtubs, sinks, or showers
What Drains Can I Find in My Home?
Every drain in your home serves the same general purpose, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Durham North possesses extensive knowledge of all related issues. Drains can become blocked for numerous reasons, making it necessary to consult a highly trained and skilled service expert for the optimal solution. Here, we've outlined the different drains in your home and the typical causes of blockages:
Bathroom Drains
Soap, hair, and toothpaste are typical culprits for bathroom drain clogs. To catch loose hairs while you're washing in the shower, consider placing basic drain covers over each shower's drain. Additionally, use hot water when brushing your teeth to prevent toothpaste from solidifying in the pipes.
Kitchen Drains
Kitchen drains often get clogged by substances like oil, grease, and food particles. After meals, these materials can end up in your plumbing from cooking activities and washing dishes. Oil and grease are particularly problematic because they solidify within pipes. A garbage disposal can help prevent blockages, but it's wise to avoid disposing of certain foods down your kitchen sink drain, such as fibrous veggies, meats, and bones.
Floor Drains
Floor drains in homes, often located in basements, garages, and laundry areas, frequently get blocked by built-up dust, dirt, and leaves. Ignoring these drains can cause issues like floor damage if they become clogged. These drains might usually be tucked away and not easily visible, but regular cleaning is necessary to reduce the risk of blockages.
